Abstract (en)

A laser diode 11 and a lens 12 for focusing the rays of oscillated light from it are arranged such that the central axis 14 of the former aligns with the optical axis 15 of the latter. In addition, the lens 12 and the multi-mode optical fiber 13 into which the focused light beam is launched are coupled and fixed in such a way that the central axis 16 of the multi-mode optical fiber 13 is offset by a predetermined length in a direction normal to the axis of said alignment. <IMAGE>
